We are permanently discontinuing our LinkedIn Chrome Extension to protect our users and comply with LinkedIn's User Agreement. This decision was made after LinkedIn clarified their stance on browser extensions and automated tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why was this decision made?
LinkedIn's User Agreement explicitly prohibits "any third party software, including browser plug-ins or browser extensions that scrape, modify the appearance of, or automate activity on LinkedIn's website." Continuing to provide the extension would put both Klipy CRM and our users at risk.
What are the risks of continuing to use LinkedIn browser extensions?
According to LinkedIn's policy:
Your LinkedIn account may be restricted or permanently shut down without notice
Any connected tools may become non-operational without warning
You may be in violation of LinkedIn's User Agreement
Why using an existing session or Chrome extension is less secure
Some tools use Chrome extensions instead of asking for your login. While this seems more convenient (they do not need your password and connect seamlessly), it's actually less safe for two reasons:
Chrome extensions
LinkedIn actively scans for Chrome extensions
It is easily detectable from their side
It is proven that they track over 1,000 known automation extensions
Session copying
When tools use Chrome extensions or session cookies, they clone your existing browser session
LinkedIn sees your browser suddenly duplicating itself
It is a very unusual activity and can be easily detected
What should I do now?
Uninstall the Klipy CRM LinkedIn Chrome Extension immediately
Review LinkedIn's User Agreement to ensure compliance with your other tools
Where can I learn more?
You can review LinkedIn's full policy on prohibited software and extensions in their User Agreement, Section 8.2, which specifically prohibits tools that:
Scrape or copy LinkedIn services
Automate LinkedIn interactions
Modify the appearance of LinkedIn
Override security features
Bypass access controls
Looking Forward
We remain committed to providing powerful CRM solutions while respecting platform policies and protecting our users' accounts. We'll continue to develop features that enhance your workflow within acceptable guidelines.
